A shoe built for all distances - The New Balance 860v12

The New Balance Fresh FoamX 860v12 is a go-to shoe that you can rely on for daily comfort over all distances. The new version has been designed to keep up with the demands of the everyday stability runner.

This shoe is intended for runners who overpronate, and its light and supportive features are what keep runners coming back year after year.

12 versions of success

The original 860 was released 11 years ago it was intended for all types of exercise. Now in its 12th edition, it still has its signature performance fit with added support. What’s changed the most in the 860v12 since the original edition? The shoe now features a seamless and engineered upper with strategic embroidery for support and durability.

What’s remained the same is the stiff medial posting in the midsole, so you can complete your run with the maximum level of support on each step.

What’s new?

The v12 is a step up from v11 with the integration of strategic support into the upper. The shoe also features reflective accents on the upper to catch the light while running in the dark.

The shoe has a full-contact outsole, which features New Balance’s softest foam yet, Fresh FoamX. The shoe is relatively firm with a layered midsole, for those who like a traditional stability shoe with lightweight cushioning.
